Legalising Documents from Singapore for Qatar

To use a document that was issued within Singapore in Qatar, it will first need to be legalised (also known as 'attested'). Whether it is a birth, marriage or death certificate, an educational qualification or in fact any other personal or company document that originates from Singapore, let us save your precious time so you can get on with more interesting things.

How does it work?

Attesting a Singaporean document can be complicated, especially as the process is different depending upon the type of document you have, and who you need to present it to. To make things easier for you, we’ve outlined below the process that each document needs to go through, but bear in mind that the process for certain documents can vary from this.

Notarisation & Verification

Most Singaporean documents will need to go through an initial stage of certification. Typically this is the process whereby a Notary Public makes a certified and notarised copy of the original document, the notarised copy being the document that the attestation is processed on. Certain other documents may require verification from another government body. This step in the process is not however needed in the case of government-issued documents such as birth, marriage or death certificates.
Initial Certification

Legalisation by the Singapore Academy of Law

Most documents will need to be certified by the Deputy Director at the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) before being presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this stage, the seal (in the case of government-issued documents) or signature of the person that certified the document is checked for its validity. Once completed, the SAL will add a red certification seal to the document.
